The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing worldwide. Approximately, 60% of patients with pancreatic cancer have distant metastases at the time of diagnosis, of which only 10% can be removed using standard resection. Further, patients derive limited benefits from chemotherapy or radiotherapy. As such, alternative methods to achieve local control have emerged, including permanent iodine-125 seed interstitial brachytherapy. In 2023, the Chinese College of Interventionalists, affiliated with the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, organized a group of multi-disciplinary experts to compose guidelines for this treatment modality. The aim of this conference was to standardize the procedure for permanent iodine-125 seed interstitial brachytherapy, including indications, contraindications, pre-procedural preparation, procedural operations, complications, efficacy evaluation, and follow-up.
全球范围内胰腺癌的发病率正在上升。大约 60%的胰腺癌患者在诊断时已有远处转移,其中仅 10%可通过标准切除术切除。此外,化疗或放疗对患者的获益有限。因此,出现了一些实现局部控制的替代方法,包括永久性碘-125 种子间质近距离放疗。2023 年,中国医师协会介入医师分会组织了一组多学科专家,为这种治疗方式编写了指南。本次会议的目的是规范永久性碘-125 种子间质近距离放疗的操作流程,包括适应证、禁忌证、术前准备、操作步骤、并发症、疗效评价和随访。
